Definitions
- the present invention relates to microcapsules comprising an active substance embedded in a novel type of matrix material, a process of preparing such microcapsules and products comprising the microcapsules.
- Naturally occurring and modified polysaccharides and naturally occurring hydrocolloids such as alginate, carrageenan, gelatine, pectins, gum arabic and acacia gum, find wide spread use as matrix materials for the microencapsulation of sensitive active substances such as vitamins and aroma and flavour substances in food, food supplements, pharmaceuticals and agricultural products in order to protect them against influences of oxygen, moisture and irradiation as well as physical influences and thus to avoid chemical and/or physical degradation of said active substances and to improve their storage stability.
- hydrocolloids presently used as matrix materials are mainly of animal origin, e.g. gelatinous materials from mammals and fish.
- microencapsulated products based on the use of matrix materials of animal origin are unacceptable for use in some products such as vegetarian foods, kosher foods and halal foods.
- the legislation governing the use of food products of animal origin is likely to become stricter in the future.
- pectic substances have been attempted to use as potential alternatives for matrix materials of animal origin, but it has been found that pectic substances such as citrus or sugar beet pectin only offer a limited protection of microencapsulated active substances against degradation and thus do not provide microencapsulated products with a desired storage stability.
- European patent application No. 1 066 761 discloses encapsulated compositions comprising a fat-soluble substance encapsulated in a carbohydrate matrix composed of maltose or maltose syrup or a mixture of low-molecular weight carbohydrates, such as maltodextrin, optionally in combination with a high-molecular weight carbohydrate, an emulsifier and optionally an antioxidant.
- US patent No. 5 998 176 discloses a method of causing gelling or increase of viscosity of an aqueous medium containing a pectic material such as sugar beet pectin by treating the aqueous medium with a carboxylic ester hydrolase and an oxidase and/or a peroxidase in the presence of an oxidizing agent for use with said oxidase and/or peroxidase. It is mentioned that the resulting gelled or viscous products are suitable, e.g. as thickening and/or stabilizing agents in foodstuff applications, as a material for drug encapsulation in medical/medicinal applications and as a slow release vehicle in both medical/medicinal and agricultural/horticultural applications.
- Danish Patent Application 1991 01060 discloses unbranched arabans, e.g. from sugar beet, obtained by treatment of sugar beet araban with ⁇ -L-arabinofuranosidase, and their use as gelling agents, as emulsifiers and as encapsulating material.
- the sugar beet arabans used as enzyme substrate in that process are obtained by an alkaline treatment of sugar beet pulp, and the raw sugar beet arabans comprises typical about 70-85 % arabinose, 5-10 % uronic acid, 8-15 % D-galactose, and a few % rhamnose and other monosaccharides.
- WO 00/70967 A1 discloses a composition comprising colouring substance bodies that are at least partially coated with unmodified pectin selected from beet pectin, chicory pectin and Jerusalem artichoke, preferable with a high degree of acetylation.
- WO 00/17368 discloses an orange fruit pectin acetyl esterase and a process wherein the esterase is contacted with a substrate, such as pectin from a fruit or a vegetable. Improved gelling properties are obtained by deacetylating sugar beet pectin with the disclosed acetyl esterase.
- the object of the present invention is to provide microcapsules comprising a matrix material of non-animal origin and being capable of effectively protecting active substances embedded in the matrix material against chemical and physical influences.
- microcapsules according to the invention are characterized in that the matrix material is obtainable by treating a pectic substance with one or more enzymes selected from the group consisting of esterases (E.C.3.1), glucosidases (E.C.3.2), peptidases (E.C.3.4), proteases (E.C.3.4) and lyases (E.C.4).

- pectic substance encompasses pectin, pectic acid and salts and esters of pectic acid (pectates), whereby the pectic substance has a galacturonic acid content of above 40 %.
- the galacturonic acid content of the pectic substance is preferable above 50 % and more preferred above 65 %.
- the matrix material of the microcapsules of the invention preferably consists of pectin, which has been treated with one or more enzymes capable of modifying of the hairy regions, viz. the side chains of the rhamnogalacturonan backbone of the pectin.
- Preferred examples of such enzymes are rhamnogalacturonase, rhamnogalacturonan acetyl esterase, ⁇ -galactosidase, arabinanase, galactanase and ⁇ -arabinofuranosidase.
- Another preferred matrix material is a pectin which has been treated with one or more enzymes capable of modifying the backbone of the smooth regions of pectin so as to form separate elements comprising hairy regions.
- enzymes examples include pectin lyase and combinations of polygalacturonase and pectin methyl esterase.
- pectins contain proteins, e.g. in an amount of about 1-5% w/w and surprisingly it has been found that the protective properties of such protein-containing pectins are significantly improved, if they are treated with a protease such as papain, pepsin and trypsin.
- a protease such as papain, pepsin and trypsin.
- the pectic material to be modified according to the invention is preferably derived from beetroot (Beta vulgaris L. Chenopodiaceae), including sugar beet, garden beet (red beet), chard, ⁇ , spinach beet, silver beet and fodder beet, or from orange, grape, soybean, linseed, Jerusalem artichoke, celery, and potatoes.

- Preferred glucosidases are debranching enzymes, such as ⁇ -arabinofuranosidase, galactanase, arabinanase, and endo- and exopolygalacturonases.
- ⁇ -arabinofuranosidase, galactanase, rhamnogalacturonase, and arabinanase is particularly useful.
- Peptidases and proteases (E.C.3.4), which also constitute a subclass to hydrolases, (E.C.3) catalyse the hydrolysis of peptide bonds.
- Preferred proteases are papain, pepsin and trypsin (endopeptidases), and carboxypeptidase A and B (exopeptidases), as well as combinations of endo- and exopeptidases, such as Flavorzyme 500L TM .
- proteases examples include Papain 16000 from Valley Research and Collupulin® from DSM Gist-Brocades Food Specialities.
- Lyases are enzymes, which catalyse addition to double bonds.
- a preferred lyase is pectinase PL lyase.
- deacetylating enzyme means an enzyme that is capable of removing acetyl groups, which are covalently bonded to galacturonic acid residues in the backbone of the hairy regions of pectin.
- cutting enzyme or "debranching enzyme” mean enzymes which are capable of reducing the length of the side chains of the hairy regions of pectin.
- pectin esterase means an enzyme, which is capable of removing ester residues from galacturonic acid residues in the backbone of pectin.
- the pectin preparation to be used as substrate for enzyme treatment can be an extract directly obtained from the raw material e.g. sugar beet peel or it can be a solution of a refined pectin product.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to microcapsules comprising an active substance embedded in a novel type of matrix material, a process of preparing such microcapsules and products comprising the microcapsules.
- Naturally occurring and modified polysaccharides and naturally occurring hydrocolloids such as alginate, carrageenan, gelatine, pectins, gum arabic and acacia gum, find wide spread use as matrix materials for the microencapsulation of sensitive active substances such as vitamins and aroma and flavour substances in food, food supplements, pharmaceuticals and agricultural products in order to protect them against influences of oxygen, moisture and irradiation as well as physical influences and thus to avoid chemical and/or physical degradation of said active substances and to improve their storage stability.
- The hydrocolloids presently used as matrix materials are mainly of animal origin, e.g. gelatinous materials from mammals and fish.
- However, microencapsulated products based on the use of matrix materials of animal origin are unacceptable for use in some products such as vegetarian foods, kosher foods and halal foods. Furthermore, the legislation governing the use of food products of animal origin is likely to become stricter in the future.
- It has been attempted to use pectic substances as potential alternatives for matrix materials of animal origin, but it has been found that pectic substances such as citrus or sugar beet pectin only offer a limited protection of microencapsulated active substances against degradation and thus do not provide microencapsulated products with a desired storage stability.
-
European patent application No. 1 066 761 discloses encapsulated compositions comprising a fat-soluble substance encapsulated in a carbohydrate matrix composed of maltose or maltose syrup or a mixture of low-molecular weight carbohydrates, such as maltodextrin, optionally in combination with a high-molecular weight carbohydrate, an emulsifier and optionally an antioxidant. -
US patent No. 5 998 176 discloses a method of causing gelling or increase of viscosity of an aqueous medium containing a pectic material such as sugar beet pectin by treating the aqueous medium with a carboxylic ester hydrolase and an oxidase and/or a peroxidase in the presence of an oxidizing agent for use with said oxidase and/or peroxidase. It is mentioned that the resulting gelled or viscous products are suitable, e.g. as thickening and/or stabilizing agents in foodstuff applications, as a material for drug encapsulation in medical/medicinal applications and as a slow release vehicle in both medical/medicinal and agricultural/horticultural applications. -
Danish Patent Application 1991 01060 -
WO 00/70967 A1 -
WO 00/17368 - The object of the present invention is to provide microcapsules comprising a matrix material of non-animal origin and being capable of effectively protecting active substances embedded in the matrix material against chemical and physical influences.
- The microcapsules according to the invention are characterized in that the matrix material is obtainable by treating a pectic substance with one or more enzymes selected from the group consisting of esterases (E.C.3.1), glucosidases (E.C.3.2), peptidases (E.C.3.4), proteases (E.C.3.4) and lyases (E.C.4).
- The improved stability properties obtained with microcapsules of the invention compared to microcapsules comprising a matrix material of non-modified pectin will appear from the drawings in which
- Fig. 1
- shows stability test results obtained by storage of microcapsules at a temperature of 25 °C and 60 % RH, and
- Fig. 2
- shows stability test results obtained by storage of microcapsules at a temperature of 40 °C and 75 % RH.
- Figs. 1 and 2 show curves illustrating the potency of microcapsules containing vitamin A palmitate embedded in various matrix materials as a function of time.
- It appears from said curves that microcapsules according to the invention, viz. comprising matrix material being protease treated pectin, shaved β-pectin, deacetylated β-pectin, rhamnogalacturonase treated β-pectin, lyase treated β-pectin, carboxypeptidase A or B treated β-pectin, and Flavourzyme 500L™ treated β-pectin as well as lyase treated orange pectin exhibit significantly better stabilities when stored both at 25 °C, 60% RH and at 40 °C, 75% RH for periods up to at least 20 days than microcapsules comprising non-modified pectin as matrix material.
- The term "microcapsules" as used herein means particles each comprising a matrix material having embedded therein a plurality of solid or liquid micro particles.
- Pectins are high-molecular weight polygalacturonic acids joined by (1⇒4)-α-glycosidic links in which some of the carboxylic acid groups are esterified with methanol and they are composed of flexible regions in which the polymer backbone is rich in rhamnose and have side chains, "hairy regions", of a complex nature.
- Pectins also comprise "smooth regions" which are rigid regions in which the backbone consists essentially of galacturonic acid or galacturonic acid residues having very small side chains such as methyl or ethyl groups.
-
US Patent No. 5 929 051 contains a more detailed discussion of the general structure of pectin and pectic substances as presently understood. - As used in connection with the present application the term "pectic substance" encompasses pectin, pectic acid and salts and esters of pectic acid (pectates), whereby the pectic substance has a galacturonic acid content of above 40 %.
- The galacturonic acid content of the pectic substance is preferable above 50 % and more preferred above 65 %.
- The matrix material of the microcapsules of the invention preferably consists of pectin, which has been treated with one or more enzymes capable of modifying of the hairy regions, viz. the side chains of the rhamnogalacturonan backbone of the pectin.
- Preferred examples of such enzymes are rhamnogalacturonase, rhamnogalacturonan acetyl esterase, β-galactosidase, arabinanase, galactanase and α-arabinofuranosidase.
- Another preferred matrix material is a pectin which has been treated with one or more enzymes capable of modifying the backbone of the smooth regions of pectin so as to form separate elements comprising hairy regions.
- Examples of such enzymes are pectin lyase and combinations of polygalacturonase and pectin methyl esterase.
- Most pectins contain proteins, e.g. in an amount of about 1-5% w/w and surprisingly it has been found that the protective properties of such protein-containing pectins are significantly improved, if they are treated with a protease such as papain, pepsin and trypsin.
- The pectic material to be modified according to the invention is preferably derived from beetroot (Beta vulgaris L. Chenopodiaceae), including sugar beet, garden beet (red beet), chard, mangel, spinach beet, silver beet and fodder beet, or from orange, grape, soybean, linseed, Jerusalem artichoke, celery, and potatoes. Sugar beet pectin is a particularly useful pectic substance.
- The enzyme classification system used in the definition of enzymes for use for modifying pectin substances according to the present invention is described in Enzyme Nomenclature 1992, Academic Press, San Diego, California, with supplements.
- Esterases (E.C.3.1) constituting a subclass to hydrolases (E.C.3) are enzymes that catalyse the hydrolysis of ester groups of pectin. Preferred esterases for use for the modification of pectic substances are deacetylating enzymes, such as rhamnogalacturonan-acetylesterase, pectin acetyl esterase, and pectin methyl esterase.
- Glucosidases (E.C.3.2), also constituting a subclass to hydrolases (E.C.3), are enzymes, which catalyse the hydrolysis of glycosidic bonds in pectin. Preferred glucosidases are debranching enzymes, such as α-arabinofuranosidase, galactanase, arabinanase, and endo- and exopolygalacturonases. A mixture of α-arabinofuranosidase, galactanase, rhamnogalacturonase, and arabinanase is particularly useful.
- Peptidases and proteases (E.C.3.4), which also constitute a subclass to hydrolases, (E.C.3) catalyse the hydrolysis of peptide bonds. Preferred proteases are papain, pepsin and trypsin (endopeptidases), and carboxypeptidase A and B (exopeptidases), as well as combinations of endo- and exopeptidases, such as Flavorzyme 500L™.
- Examples of suitable commercial proteases are Papain 16000 from Valley Research and Collupulin® from DSM Gist-Brocades Food Specialities.
- Lyases (E.C.4) are enzymes, which catalyse addition to double bonds. A preferred lyase is pectinase PL lyase.
- The term "deacetylating enzyme" means an enzyme that is capable of removing acetyl groups, which are covalently bonded to galacturonic acid residues in the backbone of the hairy regions of pectin.
- The terms "shaving enzyme" or "debranching enzyme" mean enzymes which are capable of reducing the length of the side chains of the hairy regions of pectin.
- The term "pectin esterase" means an enzyme, which is capable of removing ester residues from galacturonic acid residues in the backbone of pectin.
- In practice the enzymatic modification of pectic substances may be carried out as follows:
- Temperature and pH of the pectin preparation are adjusted to working temperature and pH of the enzyme to be used, respectively. Enzyme is dissolved/diluted in ion exchanged water and added to the pectin preparation. Reaction is carried out while stirring continuously, and if necessary pH is controlled by titration. After a certain time reaction is terminated by lowering pH. In order to irreversibly inactivate the enzyme, temperature is raised to 80°C for 10 min. Temperature of the solution is lowered and the pectin is precipitated (1:3) in 80% 2-propanol. The precipitated pectin is drained on a belt press and put in a drying cabinet at 70°C for 24 hours. After drying the pectin is ground and sieved (DIN 24).
- The pectin preparation to be used as substrate for enzyme treatment can be an extract directly obtained from the raw material e.g. sugar beet peel or it can be a solution of a refined pectin product.
- An extract of sugar beet pectin may be prepared as follows:
- 1) Mixing dry granular beet pulp with an aqueous solution of a strong, mineral acid, preferably nitric acid
- 2) Extracting the pulp with rigorous agitation for about one to five hours at 60-80 °C and pH ranging from 1.5 to 2.5.
- 3) Separating the resulting mixture into waste solids and a liquid containing pectin
- 4) Treating the liquid containing pectin with enzyme as described above.
- A pectin solution is made by adding pectin powder to hot (70°C) ion-exchanged water. The preparation is stirred continuously, until the pectin is completely dissolved.
- The active substances contained in the microcapsules of the present invention may be any substance, which during storage, transport, handling and use requires protection, e.g. from oxygen, moisture, light radiation, and physical influences, in order to avoid physical and chemical decomposition of the substance. These active substances are further defined as being active in either a chemical or biological system. Furthermore, a protective matrix may be used to prevent the active substance from reacting with other substances present in a composition or with substances with which it may come into contact during use and which would have a deleterious affect upon the active substance's desired activity. Also, a protective matrix may be used to transform liquids and other substances, which are difficult to handle, e.g. due to stickiness, into a solid form suitable for handling and processing during use, such as a powder of microcapsules.
- Examples of active substances suitable for use in the present invention are fat-soluble substances, such as vitamins, fatty acids, e.g. mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids, which may be added in the form of fish oil containing i.a. the (n-3) fatty acids docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and in the form of evening primrose oil and castor oil containing i.a. the (n-6) fatty acid γ-linolenic acid, carotenoides, e.g. β-caroten, lutein, lycopene, β-cryptoxanthin and zeaxanthin, oils and fats; water-soluble substances, such as vitamin C; enzymes, e.g. amylase; pharmaceuticals, such as griseofulvin, ibuprofen, benzodiazepines, phenacetin, hormones and paracetamol; and other nutritional supplements, such as minerals.

- The invention also relates to a process of preparing microcapsules containing an active substance embedded in a matrix which process comprises the steps of providing an aqueous medium of a pectic substance modified by treatment with one or more enzymes selected from the group consisting of esterases (E.C.3.1), glucosidases (E.C.3.2), peptidases (E.C.3.4), proteases (E.C.3.4), and lyases (E.C.4), adding to said solution at least one active substance, finely dividing and drying the mixture thus obtained to obtain a mass of particles each containing a plurality of liquid or solid micro particles of the active substance embedded in a matrix comprising a modified pectic substance.
- The final step of the above process may be carried out with conventional methods such as spray cooling, spray drying, modified spray drying or sheet drying and crushing, cf.
WO 91/06292 - The present invention also relates to products comprising the microcapsules described above. Typical examples of such products are foods, food supplements, beverages, pharmaceutical and veterinary products, feeds, feed supplements, personal care products and household products.
- The invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the following examples.
- In the examples the molecular weight (MW) is measured by the Capillary Tube Method principle as follows:
- The outlet time is measured for a pectin/hexametaphosphate solution and the molecular weight is thereafter calculated after a well-known formula (see
WO 00/58367 - The outlet time is measured on two outlets. If the difference between the times is more than 0.4 seconds the measuring is repeated until the difference is less than the appropriate value. The outlet time used for the molecular determination is the mean value of the above-mentioned identical or substantially identical measuring results.
- In this example the pectic substance was derived from sugar beets (GENU beta pectin, lot 92455, produced by CP Kelco ApS, Lille Skensved, Denmark) and the enzyme was papain (Collupulin® papain batch R9741, produced by DSM Gist-Brocades Food Specialities, Delft, The Netherlands).
- 1000 l of ion-exchanged water was heated to 70 °C, 0.4 M of NaCl was dissolved and 20 kg of pectic substance was added, while stirring continuously. After the pectin was completely dissolved, temperature was lowered to 45°C; pH was adjusted to 5.50 by titration with a 2% (w/v) NH3 solution. 240 grams of Collupulin was dissolved in approximately 5 l ion exchanged water at ambient temperature and added to the pectin solution. During the experiment pH was kept constant at 5.50 by titration with 2% (w/v) NH3. After 20 minutes, 6127 ml of 2% (w/v) NH3 was added, and the reaction was stopped by addition of a 10% HNO3 solution till pH 2.50. In order to irreversibly inactivate the enzyme, the temperature was raised to 80 °C. After 10 minutes at 80 °C, the solution was cooled to 50 °C and the modified pectin was precipitated (1:3) in 80% 2-propanol. The precipitated pectin was drained on a belt press and put into a drying cabinet at 70 °C for 24 hours.
- After drying the pectin was ground and sieved (DIN 24). Degree of acetylation (%D(Ac)), degree of esterification (%DE), galacturonic acid content (%GA) and molecular weight (MW) of the enzyme treated pectin were determined and the results obtained will appear from Table 1.
